Yes, they woooosh you from place to place, the massage seats relax you, the 1200 watt audio system drowns you and when you arrive, you just want to get back in and do it again! Then I look at the fuel economy, 3.0l supercharged petrol is doing 20mpg average right now (1 day!), 2.0D averaged 27.6mpg in 30 months... with a best of 53.3mpg and a worst of 10.8mpg . I am expecting to spend more on fuel, but I did 14,000 miles in 2.5 years so does it matter?

Here's the final figures for my 180bhp diesel AWD portfolio...

As you can see a lot of short journeys killed the mpg, most journeys in 20-35mpg range, very few at 40+mpg

AWD Portfolio, Italian Racing Red , a car with more "bounce" than most inflatable castles!
